The astrocyte as a gatekeeper of synaptic information transfer
Vladislav Volman, Eshel Ben-Jacob, Herbert Levine
We present a simple biophysical model for the coupling between synaptic transmission and the local calcium concentration on an enveloping astrocytic domain. This interaction enable…
Fluctuation Induced Instabilities in Front Propagation up a Co-Moving Reaction Gradient in Two Dimensions
C. Scott Wylie, Herbert Levine, David A. Kessler
We study 2D fronts propagating up a co-moving reaction rate gradient in finite number reaction-diffusion systems. We show that in a 2D rectangular channel, planar solutions to the…
Embryonic Pattern Scaling Achieved by Oppositely Directed Morphogen Gradients
Peter McHale, Wouter-Jan Rappel, Herbert Levine
Morphogens are proteins, often produced in a localised region, whose concentrations spatially demarcate regions of differing gene expression in developing embryos. The boundaries o…
